It is probably somewhere in the mid-1800's range. Worth? Depends on a lot of factors, mainly size, style, and condition (of lots of different aspects of the razor). Do you have a picture? Really, if it looks like most blades from that time period, it is probably worth whatever people would be willing to pay for it. I may be interested in buying if it is beat up and ready to be restored!
